The impact of the volcanic double event in AD 536 and AD 539/540 on tree-ring growth and felling activity in Danish oak trees
Variation in bioavailable lead, copper, and strontium concentrations in human skeletons from medieval to early modern Denmark
Three trace elements in human bones permit the delineation of temporal and social variability among medieval to early modern Danes in what they ate (strontium, Sr) and whether they lived in an urban or non-urban setting (lead, Pb; copper, Cu). The chemical composition of bones from 332 children (5 to 12 years old) buried in 51 Danish cemeteries was estimated through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Children provide a local c…
Frie og ufrie bønder: Landsbyer, gårde og socialstruktur på den jyske vestkyst i la longue durée
Freemen and villeinsA longue durée perspective on villages, farmsteads and social structure in western Jutland Over the course of the last two decades, Danish archaeology has seen a vast increase in excavation activity supported by the introduction of GIS-based systems. Moreover, the digital revolution has made accessible an extensive collection of historical maps, thereby enabling direct comparisons between excavated structures and depictions of…
Population genomics of the Viking world
A millennium of population change in pre-modern Danish Ribe
Denmark experienced major socioeconomic changes, including overall population growth, during the Viking, medieval and post-medieval periods from ca. AD 800 to 1800. Archaeological skeletons provide a unique perspective on the population structure of Ribe, a Danish town in Jutland, during the millennium that immediately precedes the industrialization of northern Europe. This skeletal study adds temporal depth to our understanding of an overall tre…
Dating earthwork fortifications: Integrating five dating methods in Viking-age Ribe, Denmark
On the distribution of trace element concentrations in multiple bone elements in 10 Danish medieval and post‐medieval individuals
Background The differences in trace element concentrations among 19 different bone elements procured from 10 archaeologically derived human skeletons have been investigated. The 10 individuals are dated archaeologically and some by radiocarbon dating to the medieval and post‐medieval period, an interval from ca. AD 1150 to ca. AD 1810. This study is relevant for two reasons. First, most archaeometric studies analyze only one bone sample from each…
The Bishop of Ribe’s rural property in Lustrup
In 1996, an archaeological trial excavation prior to an expansion of the Viking Centre in Lustrupholm led to the discovery of among other things a 54-m long, approximately N–S-oriented post-built house from the Middle Ages. The find gave rise to continued investigations, and in subsequent years the remains of a – by Danish standards – very extensive series of buildings were excavated. This can be identified from written sources as a farm site bel…
